Greg Laden is an independent scholar, writer and blogger. He has done many years
of fieldwork in Africa, mainly in the Congo and South Africa and has divided his
field research interests between working with the Efe (Pygmy) Hunter-Gatherers
of the Ituri Rain Forest and working on specific questions of the transition
from a chimpanzee-like ancestor to modern humans. Laden writes about science
(especially evolution, human evolution, and general biology); the
evolution-creationism “debate”; and politics (especially the politics of
religion and atheism). Laden was born in Upstate New York and lived in Boston,
Milwaukee and the Congo prior to moving to the Twin Cities about 10 years ago.

How are these rankings compiled?
The position of a blog in the Wikio ranking depends on the number and weight of the incoming links from other blogs. Our algorithm accords a greater value to links from blogs placed higher up in the ranking.
A blog linking another blog is only counted once a month i.e. if blog A links to blog B 10 times in a given month, it is only counted as having linked to that blog once that month. The weight of any link decreases over time. Also, if a blog always links to the same blog, the weight of these links is decreased.
Only links found in RSS feeds are counted. Blogrolls are not taken into account.
Our rankings are updated on a monthly basis and also include Top Blogs for several categories: Technology, Politics, etc. New categories will be added on a regular basis.
